Don't mention it. The other big and still unresolved issue is getting SMP working. I have tried to debug it and as long as I can tell second core for some reason doesn't start at all. I have even attempted to borrow second CPU kick in magic from xnu (Darwin kernel), but the result is the same. My current guess is that since it's mobile processor, the 2nd core may be turned off for power saving purposes and needs some (ACPI?) hohomagic to power it up. Unfortunately I can't find any documentation on the processor to check. It is interesting that both Linux and Windows don't have any problems with getting it working OOB.
I don't think there's any special ACPI thing to do. If you have acpi loaded, the MADT (apic table) probe should just work. Are you sure you have the latest -current since cperciva@ fixed the Core Duo limitation we had?
Yes, I do have the latest kernel (circa this morning). Do you have any other ideas about what can be wrong?

BTW, in the following lapic_ipi_raw call, is the last argument expected to be 0 or maybe it's typo and it should be apic_id instead?

/* do an INIT IPI: deassert RESET */
lapic_ipi_raw(APIC_DEST_ALLESELF | APIC_TRIGMOD_LEVEL |
     APIC_LEVEL_DEASSERT | APIC_DESTMODE_PHY | APIC_DELMODE_INIT, 0);

No, it's using ALLESELF for the destination to send it to everyone but
the current CPU.  Try enabling the CHECK_POINTS code in mp_machdep.c
and mpboot.s to see if you can figure out how far the AP gets before
it goes belly up.

It gets nowhere, unfortunately. I see 99 99 99 99 99 as a trace. :(

BTW, can you check the following URL, it's the changes intel has maiden to ia32 manual after releasing Core Duo. Maybe you can spot something there. There are some lapic-related changes.
